Ex-Texans WR Jaelen Strong claimed by Jaguars

Jaelen Strong didn’t stay unemployed for long. Cut by the Texans on Monday in a bit of a surprise move, the third-year wideout joins former Texans teammate A.J. Bouye in Jacksonville with the Jaguars. The AFC South rival claimed him off waivers, as they announced on their own social media.

Strong caught just 28 passes in two-plus seasons in Houston, including a big zero in the Week 2 win over Cincinnati. He missed Week 1 serving a league-mandated suspension for a drug-related arrest. Andy Jones was re-signed to the Texans active roster to replace the underachieving former third-round pick from Arizona State.
